SimEarth: The Living PlanetAn entire planet becomes your laboratory in this large-scale simulation game. Players help foster new life and promote its evolution into life forms of higher intelligence. Guide civilization along the path of evolution until it can achieve Exodus, the ultimate goal of settling on another planet. The basic challenge of the game is to maintain a comfortable environment for the life forms by adjusting atmospheric and geological parameters. Small organisms called Prokaryote and Trichordate will grow and evolve into a multitude of life forms. Making a drastic change is a recipe for disaster. The key to success is making small adjustments and watching how the life forms react. SimEarth also includes planets with environments different from Earth, such as Mars and Venus. Try your hand at terraforming these planets with harsh conditions and creating a world where life can thrive.

A Goodbye

November 26, 2008 2:08 am

I’m sorry to say this, but I do suppose that this will be my last post. I really wish I could have lasted longer than this, but with the inconsistency with posting the new games on Mondays, trying to keep all of the games in order, and my lack of posting screen shots I think it is time for me to say goodbye to Virtual Console Mondays. I really do appreciate all of the people that have come to this site and even more so to the ones that continued visiting the site as well as those that commented on the postings.

I will definitely have to mark this project as being a success, since throwing the ON switch back on January 23 2007 this little site has generated ~260k visits and just shy of 500k pageviews with just enough ad revenue to cover the hosting costs, which was all I ever hoped to do. I’ve learned a lot from running this site and I only hope that the service that I provided helped you, the reader, out in what you were looking for.

Since I feel bad about just up and turning things off like this, I do hope that you’ll give www.vc-reviews.com a try, as I know that they do a very good job and keep a well run site.

Thanks for everything,
-Chris
